Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm a Macuser since 2008. I have 3 Raspberry Pi and a tower PC running Arch (BTW)

    As a matter of fact, I switched to Mac OS X because I first switched to Linux.

    Linux is fantastic. It can run on $10 potato or a $B100 server infrastructure.

    The only thing I find absolutely terrible is Windows. And Windows users.

    Besides, Linux users known Steve Jobs died. 13 years ago.

    Now TBH, what I do hate is so called Linux users complaining about macOS being closed source (macOS kernel, macOS programming language, macOS Web engine are open source) while having a dual boot on Windows "to play games and use Adobe". Fuck those guys.

    I'm a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.

    My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.

    I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.

    It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL

    I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience

    I'm a linux fanboy and I bought a macbook... So where do I sit on this chart?

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

    Middle right

    Other Linux users will see you as the "Mac as seen by Linux fanboys" panel haha

    Do you run MacOS on it? Do modern Macs even allow other OSes any more?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    I do run MacOS on it... Tbh I really don't care for it, the workflow is like a slightly worse gnome with KDE settings. I needed a 0 fuss 13 inch laptop with a good screen and a good battery life and a macbook was just the most logical option for me. I would like to try asahi at some point, however I don't think their M3 support is quite there yet. I still use linux on my main PC though.

    Kind of? There is one singular Linux distribution designed to work on macs, and it’s still missing a lot of features the last time I checked

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    At between linux and macbook

    Windows
